Love the story

Reviewed: 04-28-18

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I'm relatively new to magerie and shifter stories, however ive been reading different books from different authors and Dannika Dark has a unique way to mix romance with thriller. Its entertaining but not too much sex where you have to be embarrassed when somebody comes in the room. Wouldnt listen to it with my kids but with a friend.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The end, but I dont want to spoil. However I love the way how the author teases you with romance and then it seems that something always interferes with the situation. It keeps it interesting.

My boys loved it

Reviewed: 04-28-18

What made the experience of listening to Five Go to Smuggler's Top the most enjoyable?

My boys loved the story and whenever we're in the car they were asking for it. I grew up with this series in Germany so it sets me back in time.
Tyhe book is well read and keeps kids entertained amd away from their ipad..

What did you like best about this story?

Its living and fun.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, but my boys were laughing regularly so I'm assuming they loved it.

this book failed its topic

Reviewed: 04-28-18

I bought this book with the expectation to learn about the differences about American and German way of raising a child.
however this book has a lot of assumtions and bolt statements underlined with a personal opinion. The author did some research however this book is way to politicaly involved with way to many German terms I as a German didnt understand (due to Pronounciation). there are also a lot of statements that do not fit to my experience living, growing up in Germany for 30 years and in fact being German und migrated to the states a couple of years aho. The information about Elterngeld and Elternzeit is partially true but a lot of facts are missing. I also have NEVER seen or heard about parents leaving their sleeping infant outside in the winter in the stroller while the adults are in a restaurant. I had to stop listening to the book when it came to the religious and historical part as well as political opinions as the author has a set opinion it sounds and I highly question her recources when she for example talks about teaching WWII in schools. Because you're certainly taught about this topic starting with the age of 10 until grade 13. so from a students perspective the topic for sure gets old and some get immune to it, especially when you don't have relatives that suffered from the war. its not only taught but you're brainwashed that you're never allowed to be proud of Germany and that its still your fault. students get resilient and you have 3 categories after that: the ones that keep researching and being interested in the topic, the ones that don't feel related but respect and honor the history and try to not make itself repeat and the ones that are getting upset because it's not their history and they want to be proud of their country and want to hang up the flag without being called a nazi. playing WWII down that some Germans were victims a huge nono because the author clearly has no idea what was going on in Germany during that time but I won't talk about that. Another topic the author doesn't understand are refugees in germany and this as well is a topic besides the ones above do not belong in a book that's supposed to focus on raising a self reliant child. I told my husband what this book is about and he said he thought its a political book over raising a child in Germany. My point is that the author talks more about her political view and understanding than how to raise a self reliant child. There are several research gaps and again the book seems to be filled with personal opinion than facts. Very disappointed as I was either was expecting a kind of humerous way of what the differences are or a guide that shows us the cultural differences in raising a child but not a 90% politically involved book.

good shifter book

Reviewed: 07-27-17

I'm new to shifter stories but it seems like the usual shifter story for you. its a good plot and a little bit unexpected. very detailed in scenes and I was a little bit intimitadet at first with all the bed scenes and erotic but you get used to that😉 overall I like the book and would read or listen it again.
